“A gift worth less than $500 can never be considered a bribe?”
Answer: No
Why?
Under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, there is no monetary threshold for the definition of ‘advantage’. A person is liable if they are involved in a bribery act, regardless of the amount of the bribe. A person who offers bribe may also be guilty of an offence.
Employees should observe the company's policy regarding the acceptance of advantages (e.g., permissible value, circumstances, and reporting procedures).
"Can I award a contract to a company owned by me or a close relative without disclosure?"
Answer: No
Why?
A conflict of interest arises when a staff member’s private interests clash with the company’s interests, for example, awarding a contract to a company owned by themselves or their relatives.
Concealing such a conflict of interest to benefit themselves or their associates may breach company’s policy, the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, or other criminal laws. Staff members of private organisations should avoid conflicts of interest and make timely declarations to their employers.
“You’re running late. Is it okay to ask a colleague to clock in for you?”
Answer: No
Why?
An employee who deceives his employer with false documents (e.g., false attendance record) may breach the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
What may seem like a small favour can breach your company’s code of conduct and, in some circumstances, even violate the law.
